I guess Mr. Biden doesn't know the definition of insurrection nor knows history.
I wasn't aware standing on a field and shouting a bunch fell under the definition of an insurrection.
Biden's social media team is pretty sharp. You'd think Trump would want to match that, but his ego forces him to keep posting unintelligible drivel instead.Ah, the Zombie In Chief speaks.
Or whoever actually posted that.
Our history is one of rebellion AGAINST kings and dictators. Not weak-minded cultists rebelling for the purpose of installing a dictator. Conservatives lost the plot long ago.Irrespective of your personal opinion on the real impact and chances those people had on Jan 6 of "overthrowing the government" if that was even anyone's intent (versus the US Federal Govt., I consider it a fart in the wind) .... there's no getting around the fact that rebellion is in this country's DNA. Except for the sheeple types, who we could really do without.
I guess an argument could be made following that logic though. Following an insurrection it would be something entirely new right? In that sense they wouldn't necessarily be pro-America in the sense of America as it is now, but something else.You guys missed @Marc_LFD's point entirely.
What is, "How was the United States founded?", Alex?

It doesn't, but that's a disingenuous representation of what happened on January 6th.I wasn't aware standing on a field and shouting a bunch fell under the definition of an insurrection.

- There are two implications in his post and one of them understates the seriousness of January 6th.
- It's clear Biden is talking about contemporary America, not America before its founding.
Seriously? "Lock her up" not ringing any bells? He's constantly been talking about "revenge" lately too.Last I checked Trump's not the one attempting to throw his leading political opponent in prison. You know, like dictators do.
There was nothing serious about January 6th, but you just stated that conservative blue-collar types rioted. I'm confused. Is a riot not serious?

Trump isn't being prosecuted for being a Republican.
This is one of the most ridiculous takes on January 6th I've seen recently. A benign riot is an oxymoron. People don't commit violence on a whim. People don't just happen to have a gallows on them. Stop mentioning other events, nobody is falling for whataboutism or red herrings. This is about Trump.Not if it's mostly peaceful and not fiery at all.
Or as the Mayor of Baltimore put it, they just needed "space to destroy."
This was a most benign riot, by people who hadn't planned to do so and caused little harm (excepting for one of their own being shot to death by a cop who didn't need to). Unlike what you'll see if you just do a little looking into the leftist riots that occurred in DC on Trump's inauguration day, and countless times in 2020 leading up to the election.
It's the type of threat that dictators make, not presidential candidates. Biden didn't have to campaign on locking up Trump, it was obvious to everybody that a mountain of legal trouble awaited him after he was out of office. In that sense, January 6th really shouldn't have been that much of a surprise.Did he actually go there though? No. He said she "ought to be in jail." He's right, but he took no action against her as President, nor did his DOJ. Just campaign hot air.
A benign riot is an oxymoron.
This is about Trump.
Check again, he advocated throwing Hillary Clinton in prison as a key campaign policy. Remember the "because you'd be in jail" comment and all of the "lock her up" chants? He and the GOP are also attempting to find a way to impeach Biden. So far, unlike with the orgy of evidence Trump left behind of his wrongdoings, they've failed to find the proper evidence to do anything with Biden.Last I checked Trump's not the one attempting to throw his leading political opponent in prison. You know, like dictators do.
Trump believed his entire life he was above the law because he had never faced consequences for breaking it. 77 years old is awfully late to be learning responsibility for one's own actions, but it's better late than never. His fraud case exposed to the world that he was a criminal for decades prior to reaching the White House, and now we know more about his criminal activity while in office, too.No he's being prosecuted because he's leading Biden in the polls, and theyre afraid of him against Biden on a debate stage. The Democrats simply want a more defeatable opponent. By any means.
They caused extensive damage to the capitol (over a million dollars in damages), disrupted the certification of the election, and came within seconds of encountering multiple politicians, including the VP. The fact that we had competent capitol police to stop them doesn't reduce their efforts to do it.You should read entire posts. I used that word to compare the actions of the Jan 6 dumbasses to the actions of the Trump inauguration and summer 2020 rioting dumbasses. The Jan 6 dumbasses were much less destructive, wanton, and dangerous, though some in the bunch definitely deserved some jailtime.
